South African innovator in Internet of Things (IoT) technology and solutions, IoT.nxt, has entered into a partnership with listed Dutch company ICT Group N.V..

The IoT innovator said this is part of its ongoing expansion into Europe, as demand for IoT applications and digitization grows in this vast market.

The ICT Group is an ideal partner as they are leaders in their field of expertis.

“Digital transformation is now a business imperative and our companies will jointly assist businesses to embark on and fast-track that process. We believe our innovation, especially around interoperability and edge intelligence, will enhance their offering and deliver fast results for customers,” says Joe Bester, head of IoT.nxt’s Dutch office.
